Having problems with your Fuji FinePix E550 Digital Camera ?

Fuji e550 Sometimes when i take a picture the screen goes black and it doesnt record the picture. I also noticed that the batteries were warm. I don know if this is normal. Then all of a sudden it starts works okay?

Answers :

This sounds like there is an internal short which is draining the batteries as soon as you put them in. Were the cameras taken in from the cold to a warm room? that will cause internal condensation which can fry the interior. Clean out the battery compartment completely, be sure no metal is floating around in there, and be sure that you have the polarity of the batteries correct. If that doesn't help, send the camera back to Fuji if in warranty.

Extreme overexposure Outdoor photos are mostly blank - white. Indoor photos are okay if there is very little light and I have it set on the "snow" setting. If there is light from a window then the indoor photos are over exposed as well, often with horizontal lines and/or blurry pictures. It seems that the shutter is open too long, but I don't know why. The ISO settings and the Exposure Compensation are set normally. I have 2 of these cameras, one works fine (but has a black fleck in the

Blank photos Hi I've had a refurbished rebel XT for a little over a year now. It worked great until last september or so when all of the sudden for the first 50ish pictures i take it records completely black photos. If I take enough the complete blackness becomes a few black lines and finally it takes normal photos, but only until I turn it off and then I have to start the whole process over again. I made sure my software was up to date and I tried two different memory cards. Any advice?

Canon EOS Rebel XT with EFS 18-55mm lens. Trouble-free for two years. During a weekend of lots of use, suddenly the camera would not autofocus. Switching to manual focus, the camera worked. Then it started working okay in autofocus. Later that day quit altogether. (Would not release shutter even in manual mode.) Removed the lens and cleaned the contacts on both lens and camera, started working okay but only temporary. Went through several cycles of this over the weekend, so I'm not sure

Canon Digital rebel EOS, purchased april 2004. Mid session, the camera started to take pictures that were blank on bottom 3/4 of frame. Boundary between black and normal portions of picture are fuzzy, not a clear line, LCD works, displaying normally on images taken prior to malfunction. Downloaded pictures present the same way. I cycled camera on and off, tested and reformatted 1GB CF card. No difference. HELP

Sometimes the autofocus doesn't work. It is switched to af. When I turn the camera on it will normally focus but after 1 or a couple of pictures it will not autofocus. If I move the switch to Manual I can take the picture and then if I move the switch back to m/a it will focus and keep focusing and I can take a few few more frames then then the auto cocus stops working again and I have to switch back to M and so on. I never know when it wount work. Thank you.

My flash has stopped working for some reason - I tried to use it yesterday and all of a sudden the camera takes pictures without the flah. I went on the flash settings and made sure it was set on Auto and then tried to take the picture again but no flash still. I then set the flash to go off on every picture but still the flash did not go off I would like to know how to get the flash working again Thanks

I gave my son an EasyShare camera for his birthday in late December, and he loved it until a few days ago (early April) when the buttons to navigate up/down, left/right suddenly stopped working. It still takes pictures and the "OK" button in the center still works, but since the other buttons don't work he can't look at his pictures or otherwise navigate through the menus. We are frustrated and disappointed with this product. Let me know if you have any advice.

Now it hasnt gone back to normal for a long time and i cant take any pictures. i tried taking out the battery and memory card and putting them back to refresh it but it still wont work. Its the last week of school and i need my camera to work asap !

I bought the camera in the UK but I have since moved to Portugal and have only now had a chance to get the new camera out. This, I know, is my fault. But, nevertheless, I can't get it to work - the LCD monitor remains black when shooting whatever I do. It will take pictures via the optical viewfinder okay but I cannot get the screen to show. It works to display the settings etc but not for taking pictures so that when I press the display button it alternates between the photo settings (which

Hey I have a problem with my fujifilm finepix jv100 camera. My mom was on vacation and the camera was working perfectly fine but then she said my aunt started using it and she pressed something and it made the camera look weird. When you take pictures its mostly completely white and you can't see anything on the image. Also before you take a picture or are recording it shows the screen like sort of purple-ish or pink-ish. If you know how to do a hard reset or if you know how to fix it, I would r

I took my memory card out of my camera,erased what was on it, add new pictures from my computer,to it,then put the memory card back in to the camera,and hooked the camera up to my television so I could view the pictures. But the card keeps saying "no image" when I start to view. But when I check the memory card on the computer,it's showing that all the pictures are on there. Not sure what to do. I know the memory card works,because I took a picture and it showed up on the television.

Your mistake was in assuming your camera would recognize any information your computer put on the card. It won't because of the difference in the operating systems. To get your card to work properly in your camera again, you will have to format it in ...

I took my camera to the beach, took a picture and put it back in my bag. I then took the camera back out to take another picture the lens extended but then it went back in again it went to go back out but stopped and a loud beeping noise started and a message saying lens error restart camera. I don't know how to restart the camera and if that means turning it of then on it still doesn't work. What can I do now?

Problematic Camera I have a EasyShare DX4530 which has suddenly started acting funny. Here's the sequence of events:
- power up works fine - lens comes out ok - green light glows steady, ready for a picture - picture takes fine - green light doesn't turn on again - no amount of pressing the shutter button will bring the green ready light back - pressing the SHARE button a couple times (sometimes 2, 3, even 4 times) will move thru the share sequence and then finally exit that function, turning
